ACTIVITIES
Herbert W. Armstrong College is dedicated to supplying opportunities for development and socialization to make
the AC experience a well-rounded one. The facilities, activities and faculty at AC provide a balance to the
rigorous academic schedule. Students are offered outlets for relaxation while continuing to foster growth and
development in their personalities. This section explores the many services and opportunities provided for
students, as well as some of the rules associated with them.

AC Spokesman Club is an opportunity for students to develop their public speaking skills, personalities and
character. It is patterned after Ambassador College’s Ambassador Club. Club is held every other week during the
school year. In addition, it also includes a variety of special events with different formats, some of which
allow guests to share in the club experience. Membership is compulsory for and limited to male students.

Several formal balls, dances and dinners are held throughout the course of the academic year. These numerous
events add a distinguished degree of culture to the life of the AC student. During the course of an academic
year, students will be able to enjoy a freshman reception, two ladies' night galas, Thanksgiving Ball, Speech
Banquet and Graduation Ball. The Armstrong International Cultural Foundation and Philadelphia Club offer additional
formal events above and beyond the rich college experience. Some of these events provide opportunities for students
to serve the local congregation, outlying members of the Church, and the local community.

The college maintains an engaging and fast-paced intramural sports program. This program encourages students
to expand their education by providing them with the opportunity to participate in a variety of vigorous
sports. Most important, however, is the benefit of learning friendly competition and godly sportsmanship
in a positive, energetic, uplifting atmosphere. Team sports include flag football, basketball, volleyball,
softball and soccer.

The student outreach program is an opportunity for college students to extend their fellowship
and service to outlying congregations. Outreaches are an excellent tool in furthering the third student
educational objective: to become socially balanced. These occasions are beneficial learning experiences and
provide students with a change to employ what they learn in and out of the classroom.

Philadelphia Club is a service organization for the Edmond, Oklahoma, Philadelphia Church of God congregation.
It is open to members of the Edmond congregation and Herbert W. Armstrong College students.
Inspired by Ambassador College's Ambassador Club, club members seek to discover and fulfill the needs of and to improve
quality of life for Edmond seniors, singles, teens, pre-teens, children and families, visitors, and members in nearby
congregations.

The central goals of Philadelphia Club are:

To serve the needs of the Edmond congregation.

To provide leadership opportunities for club members.

To provide interaction between Herbert W. Armstrong College students and Edmond congregation members.

Philadelphia Club members serve and participate in a variety of activities including club meetings, congregational
outreaches, fundraisers, picnics and more. Upon joining, each Philadelphia Club member commits to attend Bible
studies, the senior visitation program, and to serve in at least one Philadelphia Club organization committee
for one of the congregational events. Membership is voluntary.

The student body is served by a student body president and student body secretary. These officers are appointed
by the Dean of Students. The president assumes a leadership role for the class and helps organize and coordinate
events and activities. The secretary’s role is to assist the president. Student leadership positions
may be reassigned at any time during the year.

Summer break brings a new opportunity for students to learn&emdash;by teaching. In July, more than 100 teenagers
arrive on campus for Philadelphia Youth Camp. At camp, AC students lead the young people as dorm counselors
and instructors, putting what they learn into practice through positive, encouraging examples.
